Who is Your Audience?

No Park is an Island

It is important to identify the “users” and “potential users” of public lands and to assess their profile and needs.

Knowing your audience is imperative before developing services. This activity involves the development of surveys and researching the needs and wishes of the audiences. It provides a basis for the types of services that parks could provide for present and future generations while managing for the conservation of the natural resources.

PA Land Choices has been developed to provide participants with a basic understanding of community government and the powerful role of citizens who work toward common goals. The engaging activities in the manual provide opportunities to work collectively in teams, gaining knowledge and skills that will be useful for a lifetime. Workshops involve professional planners and other experts to help participants create, sustain and protect the special character or their neighborhoods. It is a lesson on citizenship and the democratic process practiced at one of the most important levels...right in your home town.
